Palaeography and handwriting

MS(?). While this fragment is minute for a compelling palaeographic analysis, one can find at least two early signs: IT and especially LI (MS). Since there are no diagnostic late signs, in my view an early date cannot be excluded (cf. Roszkowska-Mutschler H. 2007a, 204 and HPM: jh.).
